Arizona's residential landlord-tenant act and Mesa property maintenance rules require landlords to address bed bug infestations promptly. Tenants must report sightings, and rental units in Mesa cannot be re-rented while a known infestation is active.
Under ARS Title 33 (Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act) and Mesa Title 10 health rules, landlords must respond to written tenant reports of bed bugs and arrange professional treatment by an Arizona Office of Pest Management licensee. Landlords cannot lease a unit they know to be infested without disclosure, and they must give educational materials about bed bug prevention. Tenants must promptly report infestations and reasonably cooperate with inspections and treatment, including bagging belongings. Mesa Code Compliance can cite property owners whose units fail habitability standards. Hotels must follow Maricopa County lodging rules and treat infestations before re-renting affected rooms.
Renting a known infested unit, refusing to treat after written notice, or failing required disclosures can trigger tenant remedies under Arizona law plus Mesa code enforcement on habitability standards.
